Schubert-Liszt : Die Forelle

[Sanitoeter666]

haha, amazing how you can hear the main theme of the german folk song "die launische forelle" :D

[iwantapwnie]

@Sanitoeter666 Not a folk song but a composition by Franz Schubert, and not so amazing considering that's what she's explicitly playing, but ... yeah. Haha.

[Sanitoeter666]

@iwantapwnie yes, this is schubert, and he didn't compose it. He used the theme from "die launische Forelle". Which is a German folk song. Just enter "die Launische Forelle". I'm sure you'll find the folk song plus lyrics.

@Sanitoeter666 From where are you getting this information? It's a composition by Franz Schubert, originally for solo Voice and Piano... The melody is his. This is the Liszt transcription of that Lied. Schubert also used this theme for variations in the 4th Movement of his Piano Quintet in A, D667.

Encore un Trésor de la Musique! j' espère, en bonne voie, sinon déjà connue!... Bravissimo pr cette interprétation si fine!

[etiam161036]

Adorable!....

Wow, its an only blur... !!!

[johengen]

I strongly disagree with any comment that this piece should be played "more like Schubert" - Liszt's style demands a more romantic approach with rubato to accommodate the gestures he wrote - I defy any pianist to play this piece at a constant, quick tempo. This performance is very nice in my opinion!

bravo, who is this doll???

[OTWdk]

Her voicing is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

[OTWdk]

Bravo!!! I wish I was at the bank of the stream to film the movement of the trout when Schubert was writing the song. You certainly need a UV and polarizing filter to see the trout in the water. I have now Canon 1d MK IV which can shoot 10 frames per second and also take movie. I could certainly freeze the movement of a trout and frame them all on the wall. I love Schubert.

The way she played is sooooo sweet. LOVE

[giles1939]

I like the way you play this. The smoothness of your movement is very nice to watch. I've been playing piano for over 50 years & disagree with the critisizms below. I think it's good to imagine what Schubert would do if he had a modern piano. Some things sound much less interesting or beautiful to me when played as he wrote them. I think the most important thing is to have fun playing. When you do that, your joy comes across & is inspiring to at least some of us.

[normthedoorman]

It is a tad bit too romantic which would be fine if it were written by Liszt, but it still needs to be within the framework of Schubert's style. Still, this is a very fine rendition of a very difficult transcription. The 16th note fillegree could have had a slightly more "veiled" sound so that the melody could project better.

[gtimny]

Come on... could we perhaps have 2 measures in the same tempo? No question of skill here, just wrongheadedness - and in such an obvious piece. I don't get it.

[phoenixj24]

really nice touch.

could be a tad more flowing, perhaps slower?  I like how Jorge Bolet played it.
